- RO028-104: Crannog, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO028-104----. On the E shore of rectangular Ardakillin Lough (dims c. 500m E-W; c. 350m N-S) close to the exit point of a W-E stream. The lake was much larger in the 19th century (dims c. 1.8km NE-SW; c. 350m NW-SE at NE to c. 600m NW-SE at SW), extending much further to the NE (1837 OS 6-inch map). This may have been an O'Conor stronghold also known as Lough Carrigeen with references from the 11th to the 15th century (Gormley 1989, 121-3), and is probably the find spot of numerous artifacts including a slave collar, a skull, and about 50 tons of animal bones during drainage operations in the 1840s (Whitfield 2000). At that time its upper stony level was surrounded by a stone wall, outside of which there were wooden piles. (Graves 1858-9, 131-2; Wood-Martin 1886, 236-9) It is now an oval, flat-topped and grass-covered mound (dims of base 27m E-W; 20m N-S; dims of top 20m E-W; 13m N-S; H 2-3m) with a N-S trench (Wth of top 5.7m; D 0.5m to W; D 1.3m to E) cut through the top of the mound. Crannog (RO028-102----) is c. 210m to the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

At the crest of the gentle N-facing slope of a low E-W drumlin ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 22m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5-5m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.4-0.9m) with no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. Rath (RO029-049001-) is c. 45m to the ESE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Just off the crest of the SW-facing slope of a low E-W drumlin ridge. Oval grass-covered area (dims 52.9m NE-SW; 35.3m NW-SE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.1-5.7m; int. H 0.2-1m; ext. H 0.8-1.7m), and a rounded fosse (Wth of top 3.7-5m; Wth of base 1.7-2.2m; D 0.3-0.9m) which is only traceable W-N-SSE. There is no identifiable original entrance, but the inner face of the bank has been removed (L 12m) at NW, and there is a quarry on the perimeter at SE. Rath (RO029-048----) is c. 45m to the WNW and rath (RO029-050----) is c. 200m to the S. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Just off the crest of a low E-W drumlin ridge, on a gentle SW-facing slope. A quarry on the perimeter of rath (RO029-049001-) at SE may be the site of a lime-kiln or sweat house. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
